Complex system for end-to-end causal inference

Abstract

A causal inference stack implements a targeted maximum likelihood scheme to conduct causal analysis of the observational data. At a data-handling layer, the causal inference stack obtains one or more memory locations for a dataset and establishes analysis nodes to setup localized data handling for the memory locations. At a data classification layer, the causal inference stack characterizes the missingness of the dataset. At a pipeline layer, the causal inference stack obtains a data element dependency query from a user and sets up an end-to-end solution path to determine the presence of a causal relationship between data elements identified in the data element dependency query.
